Diversity parameter calculation from SSR data with varying and higher ploidy levels: an example on pear (Pyrus ssp.) data

Abstract Objective SSR markers are used for a myriad of genetic analyses, such as genotyping, parentage analysis or genetic structure, due to their high polymorphism, co-dominance and genomic ubiquity. Most downstream analysis tools usually require a diploid dataset but some plan...

Transforming viticulture through genomic innovation and integrated pest management for sustainable grape production

Abstract Climate change and intensifying disease pressure push viticulture beyond incremental adaptation, especially where grape production depends on repeated pesticide applications. Reducing chemical inputs requires an integrated strategy combining broader genetic diversity, co...
